Strengthening bilateral ties


YOUNG Malaysians and Singaporeans should not demonise each other but build relationships based on shared commonalities, says the republic’s Ambassador-At-Large Prof Tommy Koh (pic).

“Instead, try to get to know each other better. You have much in common, be it the way you speak, the music you listen to, the books you read, the movies and sitcoms you watch, the comedians and actors you follow on either side of the Causeway, or most importantly the food we all enjoy,” he said in a virtual address to the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy Malaysia Alumni Chapter yesterday.
